As awesome as grilling season is, I think most of us get put in a less-than-stellar situation when going to family and friends’ BBQs. Unless your entire group of friends and lots of your family are vegan or vegetarian (if you have that going on, I’M SO JEALOUS), you’re probably going to find yourself at a backyard grillin’ party surrounded by racks of whatever, roasts in smokers and if you’re lucky, a shitty boca burger.

This whole situation came to mind when I was browsing a food magazine and found the idea for foil meals. I’ll be the first one to say that this is a pretty wasteful way to cook meals, but when you’re in a tough situation, these foil packs can be a life saver! Not to mention, they are insanely easy to put together. I actually recommend getting them together the night before, so that the flavors meld together more and you don’t have to worry about rushing them the next day.

These meal packs are so versatile that you can make tons of combinations; include some protein in there by marinating tempeh in liquid aminos and throwing it in with the veggies before going on the grill. Foil also keeps your fresh veggies from touching whatever crap is stuck on your friend’s grill! (So important) An easy way of putting these together is thinking about what you like to put on kabobs; for me it’s mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, and a few others.

But, before I get to the recipe I just want to mention that I had an awesome time, last night at Golden Road Brewing. This is where Randy Clemens celebrated the release of his new cookbook, The Veggie-Lover’s Sriracha Cookbook! I got to meet Randy –who is totally awesome– and take a couple of pictures with him after enjoying some dishes from his book. I have thumbed through most of the book and the recipes look fantastic AND easy to make.
